Liberation Song

There’s so many songs to sing
so many stories that should be told
I’m privileged to join in
and wish the whole world could

But I’m not content to dream
and so I sing loud for liberation
however bad things may seem
I seek and sing for good

There’s so many things to learn
work, pleasures and wisdom to be shared
and I’m gonna take my turn
to give and to receive

These gifts hold so much power
they’re fundamental to liberation
and brighten the darkest hours
I know and I believe

There’s so much great potential
stifled by hate, fear and exploitation
I’ll bear witness and I shall
sing for all those confined

And though I have but one voice
I know I’ll never be singing solo
countless people brave the choice
to free and speak their minds
